The donations provide lodging and meals for the immediate families of firefighters being honored and assist with travel expenses. A plaque with the names of the firefighters who died in the line of duty in 2022 will be added to the National Firefighters Memorial during the tribute.

Streamlight's sponsorship also helps fund scholarships awarded to spouses and children of fallen firefighters and counseling programs for agencies that have lost colleagues in the line of duty.
Congress created the NFFF to lead a nationwide effort to honor America's fallen firefighters. Since 1992, the non-profit Foundation has developed and expanded programs that fulfill that mandate.
